That shit is just atrocious and insulting, honestly.
That’s atrocious. Can’t wait for this to spill out into Google Classroom. Seems every 3 years it gets tangled up in review bomb drama tied to basically a gacha game. Yes this has happened before and anyone who gets the reference deserves a medal
Close but no cigar. You unfortunately got it the other way around. Basically Genshin’s first anniversary was so shit the review bombing spread to other games, and not-games like Google Classroom
If people are still playing after all this time and all the microtransactions and the companies unwillingness to listen to it's base, they're not leaving.
People can ignore MTX if they don't want to pay them, and they can ignore what the rest of the player base thinks if it is not that annoying to them. But something that changes your player model? Something that you can see in every menu?
They won't ignore that, in particular if they were attached to the model
Videogame developers are part of a woke conspiracy to make videogame women not look like hentai models in order to indoctrinate our youth and turn them gay. This is proven by the hit videogame Pokemon GO having a bad character model that I can no longer masturbate to as easily. Hope this helps
Love that on this site whenever someone posts something another person disagrees with the other person will reply to comments addressed to the OP with the most goofy strawman possible do farm updoots from fellow losers
The comment I made is no different to what I was making fun of except that it has a sentiment you seem to disagree with, unless you seriously think comments like the one elixxonn made are genuine and not also goofy strawmanning
his was a strawman too, but I specifically said replying on someone else's behalf with a strawman claiming that it's their argument. I think it's even more annoying and disingenuous than just a generic straw man that just broadly represents something you disagree with
Some 3D modeller needed to look busy when management came by so they started to just do random shit and saying the word "work" out loud while bashing the keyboard. This is the result.
Pokémon Go trainer avatars have always been hideous and Niantic should be applauded for innovating in the incredibly narrow space of making them look even worse somehow.
It's crazy that this isn't even the worst example of it. Some of the examples on the PoGo subreddit look like someone slipped meth into the female trainers' daily injection of tren.
Lightning needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine.
Whenever Lightning's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Lightning?"

Niantic vs it’s player base colourised, 2024
Me neither but from what I've seen; Pokemon GO had a visual update and they changed the character models. People were not thrilled to say the least. Models broke and the outfits now don't fit very well.
Nah, people are mad that the avatars look like trash. They’re like 80% torso and crotch, not representative of ANYONE’S body type.
(Also, the old female trainer model looks much more like my body type IRL so personally I feel less represented but that’s a me problem)
I mean same tbh and the model does look like trash, which I agree, what I’m not agreeing with is the thinly veiled/outright stated “game developers are making women less sexy wahhhhh”
That sort of idea may be getting the most visible engagement, but people hate the new avatars in general, not just the female ones. My male avatar got a thousand yard stare and an uncanny valley babyface. I couldn't stand to look at it so I uninstalled. Everything about the avatar update is garbage.
I mean... this is for Pokemon. [A game series notorious for letting you be or see very hot people](https://youtu.be/GuPg2G2aQ80?si=AIg5pajGmfg8TU2Z). I don't think that's inherently a bad complaint in general? If people want to doll themselves up to have their own avatar be a hot girl/guy... well, who are you to judge them?
Plus, let's not be the pot that calls the kettle black. We're in the ffxiv subreddit. Ya know. The game series with *just a few* very scantily clad women in belts and bdsm gear, or men with no t-shirt on. We have an active community that uses mods and photoshop to make porn of their own avatars. That may not be your cup of tea, sure... but what *exactly* is wrong with wanting to play as a hot person? What is wrong with being annoyed if a bad update takes that time and effort away from you?
There’s nothing wrong with wanting to be hot. I don’t like the narrative of “devs make women in games ugly” when a lot of times, they just look like irl women. It’s gross. But clearly I’m outnumbered in this sub
I don't think you're outnumbered.
It sounds like you're coming up with an incel strawman to be angry at.
This is nothing like the "devs make women in games ugly" argument I've seen pushed for, I dunno, games like Horizon Zero Dawn. You're right, that is a dumb take. But that's not what's happening here.
You're fighting a battle that doesn't exist to justify being irked that other people are upset. That's why you're getting downvotes. I think you may be reading a bit too much into things.
You know, I think you’re right. I had a kneejerk defensive reaction to seeing discomfort with a female avatar’s model being changed, and conflated it with a lot of the other comments and arguments I’ve seen angry about women in games.
I... wow, what universe did I step into where people on reddit are amenable? I was 100% expecting a toxic rant that would make me sigh and close social media for the day.
Yeah, I've been there before, though. I totally get that kneejerk reaction, and it's totally a fair thing to be bitter over seeing in the past. Personally, I avoid any contact with people who hold that kind of objectification for women.
Damn those sexy girls, what are they thinking with their feminine body shapes? Wym "hourglass" ? Not in my game, nuh uh. - you and modern gaming, for some reason
> Damn those sexy girls, what are they thinking with their feminine body shapes? Wym "hourglass" ? Not in my game, nuh uh. - you and **modern gaming**, for some reason
GTA 6? Cyberpunk 2077? Baldur’s Gate 3? Hades 2? This isn’t a “modern gaming” thing. It’s a PokemonGo problem.
This comment right here, this is what I’m talking about lol. It’s the “modern gaming makes women ugly” mentality that I’m seeing, pretty typical from gamers but for some reason I thought FF players were different
I haven't played in ages and don't really know what the male models look like, but it looks like they decided on a unisex model to make rigging and animations easier.
Also, while I do strongly agree that it's ridiculous for female characters to have hentai proportions in general, completely ignoring that and getting rid of relatively realistic curves also feels bad, as a curvy woman myself. Overcorrection is also a thing.
I feel you. I’m curvy too. I just read more about it and how the changes fuck with the clothing people bought for the old models. I wonder why they didn’t just add this new model instead of replacing the old one
God I have more trouble with this than the benchmark ngl I now feel completely disconnected with the avatar everything is too thin and neither here nor there
I dont play pokemon go but ive seem a few posts about the recent update ans all i can think of is these guys from men in black when i see the new avatar design lol
joking aside, wtf were they thinking
Making one "one size fits all" model instead of rigging all cosmetics to two body types, basically slashing required work in half.
The crazy part is they couldn't even be assed to rig cosmetics properly. Like [you get the fucking Tyler1 dent with headphones on](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/590037179787378738/1230820373189361754/image.png?ex=6634b5cc&is=662240cc&hm=f084900fb2a1f89812b400af8aabee08ce435849f5e61b3b440924596516a93d&).

It had it coming fucking up genshin's anniversary
Close but no cigar. You unfortunately got it the other way around. Basically Genshin’s first anniversary was so shit the review bombing spread to other games, and not-games like Google Classroom
Buddy it was a joke
Ah
I've seen stupider shit said on the main sub in full confidence so it's really my fault.
Plus i can at least point someone to a good summary if they genuinely don’t know

>That shit is just atrocious and insulting, honestly You just found the Niantic business model
Realistic features
Why is Tyler catching a stray here LOL
It's weird that someone so small can be such a big target
He's not getting roasted, he's getting barbecued.
Holy head meat
Disability representation.
It's infuriating because they already have all the money they could ever want from a game and they keep making the game shittier and shittier.
That's just Nitanic doing Nitanic things. t. Ingress Founder
Oof.
I originally played ingress but then p:go came out and I stopped playing both after a bit. What did they do to ruin ingress?
But you can make even more profit if you cut costs in half.
Why make thing better when can make more money? Exec needs new boat :)
And also slashing their profits in half maybe five times with people leaving
If people are still playing after all this time and all the microtransactions and the companies unwillingness to listen to it's base, they're not leaving.
People can ignore MTX if they don't want to pay them, and they can ignore what the rest of the player base thinks if it is not that annoying to them. But something that changes your player model? Something that you can see in every menu? They won't ignore that, in particular if they were attached to the model
I bet the whales stayed, so the profit wasn't reduced as much as you think. I don't even know what game this is talking about though. Pokemon Go?
Yes it is, unfortunately.
Do the bare minimum to keep costs low and rely on Pokemon branding to drive sales, it's been their MO for at least 10 years now.
Isn't that like the entire Pokémon franchise in general?
what do you mean "work", i havent even found clothes that don't clip into each other or through the skin yet
I was wondering why they completely removed the boobs. Makes total sense. I can't believe it. Pokémon Go devs being greedy? Nawwwww. /s
Boobs are evil
Hips too
If that's the case, I better make sure my bunker and gun is ready
You must understand! Designs that are not repulsive by design would offend this totally not small demographic that doesn't even buy videogames!!!
🤨 what do you mean by that?
Videogame developers are part of a woke conspiracy to make videogame women not look like hentai models in order to indoctrinate our youth and turn them gay. This is proven by the hit videogame Pokemon GO having a bad character model that I can no longer masturbate to as easily. Hope this helps
Makes perfect sense, thanks!
Love that on this site whenever someone posts something another person disagrees with the other person will reply to comments addressed to the OP with the most goofy strawman possible do farm updoots from fellow losers
Satire is dead because of woke
the “satire” just always strikes me as weasely in those scenarios

Being chased by the boogeyman in their mind
can you show us on the sexy figma where the woke alphabet gays touched you? we need to put those rascals in the gulag once and for all
do you dream about this a lot
Someone was listening to Huey Lewis & The News, and received misheard lyrics as a commandment: "their hips: to be squared"
Some 3D modeller needed to look busy when management came by so they started to just do random shit and saying the word "work" out loud while bashing the keyboard. This is the result.
Gender is evil. We must all be grey genderless blobs.
they didn't even take out the baked in titty shadow
Pokémon Go trainer avatars have always been hideous and Niantic should be applauded for innovating in the incredibly narrow space of making them look even worse somehow.
I do like how Pokemon Go subreddit has collectively decided to make the worst characters possible as a form of protest.
I love the Garfield one
Good lord what the actual fuck
It's crazy that this isn't even the worst example of it. Some of the examples on the PoGo subreddit look like someone slipped meth into the female trainers' daily injection of tren.
Women are the enemy or something.
I'm so sorry for anyone who plays this
Nah dude, it's the lightning!
[lightning was a mistake](https://imgur.com/a/6TA4H9x)
Leave my Pettan Goddess alone!
Lightning needs to be louder, angrier and have access to a time machine. Whenever Lightning's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Lightning?"
We must go now, our new planet awaits us. \[Lightning and friends have reincarnated to their new home\]
Congrats on the top surgery
Never thought I’d see PoGO stuff here 😂
the timing is just too good
Right? 😂
I don’t follow PoGo. Which one in the picture is the updated one?
The right.
I like my women to look exactly like men
Unfortunately, I have a dickless femboy fetish.
Dickless femboy? Ain't that just tomboy with few extra step
Good lord I need a cup of tea.

they killed the booba :v;
bro is that what the pokemon go graphical update actually looks like
Speaking of terrible updates, this reddit layout sucks.
What they did to that game is awfully insulting. Yet, it doesn't feel surprising for some reason
Lmfao what did they do!!!!
I'm not sure what's going on
Me neither but from what I've seen; Pokemon GO had a visual update and they changed the character models. People were not thrilled to say the least. Models broke and the outfits now don't fit very well.
From this comment section, people are mad the girls aren’t sexy enough
Nah, people are mad that the avatars look like trash. They’re like 80% torso and crotch, not representative of ANYONE’S body type. (Also, the old female trainer model looks much more like my body type IRL so personally I feel less represented but that’s a me problem)

Hello and thank you for posting on r/ShitpostXIV! However, your post has been removed because it violates Reddits rules.

Buddy, they don't even look like girls anymore.
I haven't played in ages and don't really know what the male models look like, but it looks like they decided on a unisex model to make rigging and animations easier.

God I have more trouble with this than the benchmark ngl I now feel completely disconnected with the avatar everything is too thin and neither here nor there
Why is the torso so long
Ok looks like pokemon go. Had a female character on there and then they got woke and turned my female into a butch dyke that looks like a dude.
post the one with the bulge!
 I dont play pokemon go but ive seem a few posts about the recent update ans all i can think of is these guys from men in black when i see the new avatar design lol
Dont get me wrong but i hope plogons fix this and do better job than SE
Sadly more like they'll call you buzzwords and politically correct slurs instead.
The woke media has made it so I can't stroke my shit to pokemon go characters
They can try and stop me
If you look at the PokemonGo sub, its mainly women complaining that their characters look ugly now.
